Guaranteed Rate Field (formerly U.S. Cellular Field and Comiskey Park) is a baseball park in Chicago, Illinois. It is the home field of the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball's American League Division. The facility is owned by the state of Illinois through the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority and is operated by the White Sox. The ballpark was completed at the cost of US$137 million and was opened to the general public in 1991 (replacing historic Comiskey Park). The ballpark architecture was done by Populous (then HOK Sport) and HKS, Inc. (2001–2007 renovations). The stadium houses 103 luxury suites located on two levels, as well as 1,822 club seats on the 300-level mezzanine between the lower deck and upper deck. The stadium also has 400 wheelchair-accessible seats, 38 public restrooms, 12 escalators, and 15 elevators. Before U.S. Cellular, a wireless telephone carrier bought the naming rights in 2003 at the cost of $68 million over 20 years and renamed U.S. Cellular Field as "New Comiskey Park." Although the deal with U.S. Cellular ran until 2023 and the stadium name lost most of its value in Chicago after the company sold its local network to Sprint in 2012. During the 2016 MLB season, the current name was announced on October 31, 2016. Guaranteed Rate Field has been featured in many films such as Rookie of the Year, Little Big League, Major League 2, My Best Friend's Wedding, and The Ladies Man. It also hosted the 74th All-Star Game, Huskie Chi-Town Showdown, and some rocking concerts by The Rolling Stones, Chance the Rappers, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, etc. Grab your tickets for any upcoming event at the Guaranteed Rate Field Chicago from the box office, or you can buy tickets online at TicketsOnSale.com.
